Hoopers Pool, Southwick, Trowbridge, BA14

An incredibly versatile home that would suit so many different family requirements and has the added advantage of a separate three bedroom lodge which is ideal for a relative or perhaps an income stream as a holiday let, subject to any consents required. The current owners have created a wonderful small holding including pens for poultry, a pond for the ducks and paddocks for the goats and pigs. However, all of this would be very easily adapted to a different set up if a buyer needed. 

The entrance hall is a welcoming space with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to the sitting room, dining room, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and double doors opening to the second sitting room. This is a recent addition to the house and is a great room with a stove in the corner and a great aspect to the rear. Double doors lead from here to the kitchen which has been recently refitted with a modern cream Laura Ashley farmhouse style kitchen with a central island with seating space Rangemaster oven inset into a feature red brick fireplace style setting, ceramic sink and hardwood work surfaces. There is ample space at the far end of the kitchen for a breakfast table or sofa. There is a really useful utility room and store beyond the kitchen which is a perfect space for a rural home and is ideal for dogs and muddy boots.

On the first floor there are five well proportioned bedrooms with bedrooms one, two and three being large double bedrooms. The master benefits from an ensuite wet room and a Juliet balcony that takes in the view over the rear. The two remaining bedrooms are double bedrooms and there is a further family bathroom.

A lift currently links the ground floor and first floor from the second sitting room to the landing making the entire house wheelchair accessible.

Greenacres is approached over a driveway to the front with ample room for parking and turning several vehicles. To the side of the house is an open fronted car port which is a versatile building that has space for vehicles and storage. A gate to the side of this leads to the paddocks to the side of the house.

The gardens lie to the side and rear of the house and are enclosed by wooden post and rail fencing with a terrace immediately adjoining the rear of the house. The garden has been designed to be both child and dog friendly.

The Lodge

The lodge sits to the side of the main house and can be run independently. It is immaculate throughout comprises an open plan kitchen, living and dining room, three bedrooms, with the master bedroom having a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, and a family and bathroom.

The Lodge has a private garden area to the side and a raised deck area to the front and side.

The Land

Greenacres is a super small holding that the current owners have created during their time at the property. They have subdivided the land into a series of manageable paddocks, each well fenced, with water and a hardcore track making access between them straight forward. The “home paddock” has recently been part planted with an orchard.

At the far end of the land is a concrete pad with water and electricity available to but not yet installed. This would be an ideal place for stables or a storage barn, subject to gaining any of the necessary consents.

The pond is fed from the water run off from the land and has an outflow pipe should the water reach a certain level The land is level in aspect and can be entirely seen from the house and garden. In total the property extends to approximately 2.28 acres.  

Agents Note

The vendors currently have an agreement to rent the adjoining parcel of land that equates to approximately 1.85 acres as edged blue on the sale plan. We believe that the owner of this land would be happy for this agreement to continue.
